Praying over the rooms of your house

When we moved into our current house we began to do some basic remodeling such as pulling up the carpet that pets had peed on, knocking down walls and ceilings, and pulling up layers of vinyl tile on floors.  We felt like archaeologists digging through layers upon layers of lives.  So many different people had lived in our house, and our suspicion was that much of the activity that went on in our house was contrary to what Jesus Christ would want.  So we prayed over each room of our house, asking Jesus Christ to fill that room with himself, and for that room to be dedicated to him.  We took over that room for Jesus Christ.  When the US flag was stuck into the moon they claimed ownership of the moon even though the moon does not in any way belong to the US.  But that house does belong to Jesus Christ, and we were aligning with him that it was his.  Psalm 24:1 states, “The earth is the LORD’s, and the fullness thereof, the world, and all who live in it.”  We have done that in the rooms of our house, and also been a part of reclaiming what was rightfully God’s in other people’s houses or other buildings.  Don’t forget the closets, the basement, the attic, and other out of the way rooms – even the garage and the front porch.  I personally do not think this is a bad idea to do more than once.
